here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?

Even with Biden exiting late, that was a winnable election and the dems botched it by trying to fit as much evil as they thought they could get away with into the platform-- so they could cash the most checks from AIPAC.

If Harris had just said two weeks before the general that she thought what was going on was genocide, she'd be president right now and the minimum of campaign funding would have been lost. Sure the far right would never donate to the dems again, but when you look at what their donations cost us all, why would anyone take that money anyway?

Bringing their priorities into the party was always a massive mistake by DNC leadership.

And the dems like yourself learned nothing from the loss and keep preaching to others to accept lesser evils. When it comes to crimes against humanity I think you'll find for the dems that enough of their base says "never again -- for any ethnicity" that they should not even try this again unless they absolutely want to lose. Theres barely enough base to even try to win again in any case. We're past any sort of 'optimizing for highest $$' strategizing and just fighting for the party to even exist at all anymore. So maybe take your lesser evil metaphor and fold it till its all sharp corners and do the needful.

Nobody knows "what would have happened" and suggesting it is stupid. Ain't nothing predictable about this dimension.

Voting and issue polling is not exactly a totally random and unpredictable phenomenon. I know my peeps. If Harris said the words-- even pretended to deviate from Biden, youth and progressives would have showed. And yes, she would have lost the pro war crowd, but thats a tiny group compared to the ones who didnt vote or voted third party.

The youth never show.

And the "pro-war crowd" is larger than the "anti-war crowd" where it comes to Israel.

Note true. Who knew that murdering innocent human beings in cold blood would have consequences. Time to open that pocketbook and buy more hasbara marketing, zionists.

And yet more than half backed Trump, by far the more pro-Israel candidate.

She would have been president easily, but she loves right wing genocidal shit
